9
Reasons to Use Foreign Trade Zones

When
imported material has incorrect country of origin markings, you can avoid
fines and penalties by entering merchandise into the zone and remarking or
re-labeling it before making a U.S. Customs entry.

Merchandise
entering through the zone is not subject to state, local ad valorem or
inventory taxes.

Merchandise
can be transferred to the zone and held until a quota is opened.The benefit is a quicker response time because the merchandise is
already in the
U.S.

Parts
subject to quota may be manipulated or processed to create a product that is
not subject to quota.

Because
insurance does not have to include Customs duties, costs are reduced.

Exports
returned if items are not registered with U.S. Customs, you can return
merchandise to the Foreign Trade Zone and eliminate duties.

Foreign
Trade Zones contribute to quality control by ensuring that
U.S.
standards are met.Items below
standards can be repaired, returned or destroyed.

Merchandise
can be transferred from one zone to another, to a subzone, or removed from a
zone temporarily for certain activities.

Zones
are subject to U.S. Customs supervision and security requirements.

A
Closer Look at How the Savings Work

Defer
Costs through Warehousing and Distribution

When
merchandise is stored in the Foreign Trade Zone, you are not required to pay
Customs duties until the items leave the zone and enter
U.S.
territory. By deferring these costs, you improve your cash flow and save on
interest expense

The
rate of duty is based on either imported materials or finished products.Because finished products often have lower duty rates, you can reduce
costs by choosing this option.Merchandise
in a zone can be stored, sampled, displayed, tested, cleared, re-labeled,
repacked, repaired, mixed, assembled, processed, and manufactured.

Eliminate
Costs through Exporting and Destroying

When
merchandise is exported to another country, it never enters U.S. Customs
territory, and Customs duties are not paid.Therefore duty drawback is not necessary.Additionally, if merchandise is defective, damaged, scrapped, waste or
obsolete, it can be re-exported or destroyed to eliminate duty.

Reduce
Operating Costs through Foreign Trade Zones

Few
government programs have been more instrumental in attracting international
trade throughout the
United States
than Foreign Trade Zones.In fact,
the total value of merchandise moving through Foreign Trade Zones exceeds
several hundred billion dollars annually.Why
the success? In short, merchandise can be admitted to a zone without a formal
Customs entry or payment of Customs duties or government excise taxes.This ability to defer, reduce or even eliminate the payment of Customs
duties is a benefit that thousands of
U.S.
companies take advantage of every year.

options.To begin with, we offer
almost unlimited lease options (office, distribution center or warehouse) or a
build to suit from any of the airport developers.Land is available for companies wising to build their own facilities, and
